Frequently asked questions about Prostospan Products
Q. What is Prostospan 125mcg Injection used for?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection is used to control excessive bleeding after childbirth, also known as postpartum hemorrhage. It is particularly useful when the uterus does not contract properly after delivery, a condition called uterine atony. It is generally given when conventional treatments have not adequately controlled the bleeding.
Q. How does Prostospan 125mcg Injection help control bleeding after childbirth?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection works by stimulating the muscles of the uterus to contract strongly after childbirth. These contractions help compress the blood vessels at the site where the placenta was attached. This helps reduce blood loss and control postpartum hemorrhage.
Q. How is Prostospan 125mcg Injection administered?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection is administered as a deep intramuscular injection by a trained healthcare professional. It is given in a hospital or specialised medical setting where the patient's condition can be closely monitored. It must not be administered intravenously.
Q. How quickly does Prostospan 125mcg Injection work to control postpartum bleeding?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection stimulates uterine contractions after administration, helping to control excessive bleeding. The response may vary depending on the severity of bleeding and the patient's condition. Your doctor will monitor the bleeding and determine whether additional doses are necessary.
Q. Can Prostospan 125mcg Injection be given more than once if bleeding continues?
Yes, your doctor may administer additional doses of Prostospan 125mcg Injection if the bleeding is not adequately controlled after the first injection. The timing and number of injections depend on your response to treatment and the severity of bleeding. The total dose should not exceed the maximum recommended in the prescribing information.
Q. Is Prostospan 125mcg Injection safe for women with asthma?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection should be used with caution in women who have asthma or a history of breathing problems.

Inform your doctor about any history of asthma or respiratory problems before receiving this medicine.
Q. Can Prostospan 125mcg Injection be used during pregnancy?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection is intended to control excessive bleeding after childbirth and should not be used during an ongoing pregnancy for this indication. It stimulates strong uterine contractions, which may pose serious risks to the developing baby. Your doctor will administer this medicine only when it is appropriate for your condition.
Q. Can Prostospan 125mcg Injection be used along with other medicines to control postpartum bleeding?
Prostospan 125mcg Injection may increase the effects of other medicines that stimulate uterine contractions, such as oxytocin.
